The claim was "Natural immunity comes with a 10--25x greater risk of death". That's a statement about the chance of dying from the vaccine to the chance of dying from Covid.
The numbers you're actually using are something quite different: they're comparing the chance of dying from Covid if vaccinated, vs. the chance of dying from Covid if unvaccinated.
The only credible reports of Covid vaccine fatalities that I'm aware of were from the AZ and J&J ones, and seemed to be on the order of 100 cases in all European countries before the use of those vaccines was stopped at least for the at-risk group (young women).
If the chance of dying from the vaccine was only 10x lower than that of dying from Covid, we'd have millions of dead from the vaccine. We don't.
- dredmorbius 5y agoThat's a statement about the chance of dying from the vaccine to the chance of dying from Covid. Fair point. The risk from the vaccine itself is de minimus. I've updated my comment to clarify.
